40\" Damascus Full Tang Samurai Katana Sword Ninja Leather Wrapping with Sheath For Sale

Bound in leather but unbound by convention, the Rurousha is no ordinary katana. Shikoto\'s \"Rurousha\" Katana may be stylishly bound in genuine leather bands, but it refuses to be bound by traditional notions of \"orthodox\" sword design. And when it comes to shear strength and raw cutting power, the Rurousha simply knows no bounds! Indeed, the Rurousha is one-of-a-kind in style, engineering, appointments and more - from its robust, breathtakingly beautiful Damascus steel blade to its rustic, leather-centric garb and beyond.
Shikoto developed the Rurousha with the serious swordsman in mind. Master smiths painstakingly hand forge every blade, and seasoned sword artisans carefully handcraft each tsuka and saya. From vigorously hammering the molten blade steel to gingerly wrapping the leather thongs around the tuska and saya, every step in the Rurousha\'s construction receives the utmost care and precise attention to detail. Some of the world\'s - and history\'s - most revered, time-tested techniques are employed, and every material meets or exceeds stringent quality standards. A quintessential example is the Rurousha\'s eye-catching Damascus steel tanto blade, which teems with potency and visual splendor - a spectacular wonder in its own right, with its contrasting lines, waves, swirls and other mesmerizing patterns. Each line is a distinct variety of steel, hammer welded and folded repeatedly to yield the thousands of layers in each Rurousha blade. The unique metalsmithing technique\'s roots stretch back to the Middle Ages, and today it\'s still painstakingly performed by seasoned hands, unsullied by soulless automation and disconnected mechanization.
